Day 65 - Colonel Mustard in the Study With a Wrench

Dinner - Ham and mixed vegetables

Snack - cheese

Day 64 - Coffee Names

Breakfast - Eggs and Sausage

Lunch - Roast beef sandwich

Dinner - Ham slices with cream cheese and pickels rolled together.

Snack - Popcorn

Day 63 - Cheese In Lights

I was making quiche and started renaming Broadway shows with the word cheese being part of the name. I have no idea why I started doing this but it certainly freed up the kitchen.

Brunch - quiche with sausage, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and cheese.

Dinner - 1/2 a Sonic double cheeseburger and apple pie

Day 62 - Jack Daniel's Burger

Brunch - Leftover scrambled egg quesadellia

Dinner - Jack Daniels burger with sweet potato fries

Day 59 - Wild Rice Soup

I made wild rice soup today, numm..

Cook wild rice in lots of water until it cracks open and rinse thoroughly.

Saute chicken, carrots, onion. Some people add celery.

Combine the ingredients into a soup pot, add chicken stock, cream, salt and pepper. If you like a thicker soup add corn starch dissolved in cold water or make a roux with flour and butter.

Breakfast - blueberry pancakes

Lunch - BLT

Dinner - Wild rice soup

Snack - rice krispie bars. Melt 1/2 a stick of butter, a large dollop of peanut butter, and a bag of marshmallows. Pour in a box of rice krispies and put on a sheet of wax paper that was sprayed with pam. The recipe on the box has too much marshmallow for my taste and the peanut butter is a great way to use up that jar of Skippy that my DH bought by mistake. When you put the bars on the waxed paper you have fewer dishes to wash.

Day 58 - Hero Sandwich

One of my daughters works at Subway so she brings home sandwiches occasionally. We call them sub sandwiches in Minnestoa. When I was in Pittsburgh they were hoagies, and down south, po'boys.



Breakfast - corn flakes with bluebberries

Lunch and Dinner - a sub sandwich

Snack - plum, salted nut roll

Day 57 - Egg With A Hat On

I must be on a theme. Egg with a hat on is an egg that is fried in a piece of bread (I use toast) that has a hole cut in it. You then cover the egg with the round cut out, hence the hat.

Breakfast - eggs and toast

Lunch - stuffed tomato with garlic toast points

Dinner - Sausage and peppers

Day 56 - Fried Eggs

Breakfast - eggs and sausage

Lunch - cheese and crackers

Dinner - My family saved me leftover Chinese food from their lunch.

Day 55 - A Photoshop Inspired Glass of Wine

I'm taking a Photoshop class and was struggling with an assignment. I knew the selection wasn't being activated but I couldn't see what I was missing. I looked through books, watched Lynda.com videos, and tried doing the problem in varying order. After hours of work I drove to school hoping to catch anyone who knew the answer. The teacher was in his office and said "You need to merge down, I've had several people not know to do that. It's so obvious to me that I didn't think to mention that step." Grrr... I've never heard of merge down.

I did the remainder of my homework effortlessly and had a whomping glass of wine in an antique peanut butter glass.

Brunch - corn flakes and banana (I'm getting really tired of cereal)

Dinner - Tacos

Day 54 - Gnats

I took the dogs for a walk and was surrounded by a cloud of gnats. A few kamikaze bugs threw themselves in my mouth.

Breakfast - rice krispies and banana

Lunch - chicken salad in a garden tomato

Dinner - hot Italian sausage, onion, peppers, cooked with fresh tomatoes

Day 53 - Bag of Broasted Chicken

I'd love to be a vegetarian but the siren call of roasted meat does me in. My daughter brought me home a bag of broasted chicken and it had a cellophane window to view your purchase.

Breakfast - corn flakes with banana

Lunch - chicken with salad

Dinner - more chicken and garden tomatoes

Day 52 - Thursday at Fridays

Just say no to mint. I ordered a mojito expecting the pretty pink thing on the menu and I got a salty concoction with a ton of mint (it looked a little like pesto). They graciously exchanged it for the more expensive Tropical Berry Mojito shaker and I ordered it without mint. I don't think it qualified as a mojito any longer but the the rum, strawberries, guava, and passion fruit were quite tasty since I couldn't detect the rum.

I guess the rum worked since the shaker is a little askew; that will teach me to sketch in a bar.

Breakfast - Quiche

Dinner - Jack Daniels burger with sweet potato fries

Breakfast - sausage and egg sandwich

Dinner - pizza

Lunch - steak and salad

Dinner - chicken and salad

Snack - those nasty strawberry wafer cookies that taste so good with ice cream and ice cream to keep the cookies company

Day 46 - Mutant Cucumber

We purchased a cucumber plant at the Farmer's Market last spring. This is the resulting crop, a malformed vegetable that even the dogs are suspicious of and the raccoons have rejected.

Breakfast - Hamburger Helper and corn (my sister in law brought over some things that she bought, buy one, get one free and I felt compelled to use). My but that was salty...

I drew the smooth cayenne pineapple with markers.

Lunch - hotdish with vegetable

Dinner - rice pilaf with chicken

EDM Every Day Matters #146 Draw a favorite food

Brunch - cinnamon toast crunch

Dinner - pork chop, gnocchi with peas

Snack - peanut butter rice krispies bars, apple

Ink and watercolor drawing of vegetables. I had Mexican for dinner, hence the onion, pepper, tomato, garlic and cheese.

Lunch - hot dog baked in tortilla

Dinner - tacos, nachos, milk

EDM Everday Matters Challenge #112 Draw something fresh
